“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor” - Truman Capote. Failure is simply a test to see how badly we want something. Are you willing to work for it? If so, how hard? And when you fail- do you feel defeated or do you attack again with a new strategy? As much as we appreciate the good things in life, we sure do appreciate them more when we have lived without them. Or worked our ass off to get it! After all, would success taste so good if we didn’t have to struggle to get there? Appreciation is deserved for all things in life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Because without those things, life wouldn’t be so damn good and beautiful! Struggle. Work hard. Let the obstacles and failure drive you. Motivate you. You deserve the things you want and you can do it! 📷 @jkyle_10#motivationthursday#theveryidea#wallgraphics#vinyl#signshop#printshop#motivationalquotes#workhard#flavoroflife#lifeisgood#colorwheel#dandrewsbakery

Hey 25-year-old me... pictured here at a wedding at Highclere castle which wasn't yet Downton famous. There for the reception of a couple you no longer know (to be fair I think they were your ex's friends) I know that face, you're feeling self conscious when you so shouldn't have. I don't think you ever appreciated what you had until it had gone!
This was a hard time in your journey and
I want to give you a hug and tell you it'll all be ok. To raise your head up against the crappy break-up they that was around the corner and the others that followed. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
